Normal
The weather cooperated yesterday in remarkable fashion. It was warm and sunny when we arrived and a couple of hours later, as we were leaving we could hear rumbles of thunder and felt a couple of raindrops. Just as soon as we pulled into our garage, the skies opened and we had a fairly brief downpour. In less than 10 or 15 minutes the rain had stopped and the sun was back out. Dinner was a good time with a little more than 70 folks in attendance.Not packed yet but most of what we will be taking is out and ready to go in the suitcases. Newspaper delivery has been put on a hold and I will notify the post office to hold our mail until we are back home.I believe that the various cruise companies will be announcing their plans to provide assistance to the people of Maui, shortly, if they haven't already. I remember being on a cruise several years ago that stopped in Labadee,Haiti after there was a catastrophic event and our ship delivered several tons of relief materials to be distributed to the residents of the island. In fact one of our fellow passengers headed up an effort to have all of us donate some basic necessities and there was a significant degree of participation.
